What does "Injured" refer to in ambulance case terminology?

In ambulance case terminology, the term "injured" specifically refers to a general injury without the need for further specification. This means that when an individual is described as injured, it indicates that they have sustained some form of bodily harm, but it does not detail the extent or nature of that injury. The terminology aims to encompass a range of possible injuries, allowing first responders to understand that the person requires medical attention, but without providing exhaustive details about the injury type or severity.

This broader definition allows emergency medical personnel to allocate appropriate resources based on the general condition of the individual, regardless of whether the injuries are minor, moderate, or severe. The term emphasizes the need for medical intervention but leaves open the specifics, which can be assessed upon evaluation by trained professionals.
